Interesting!

I haven’t run into any of that. Not sure why, but what a pain.

It probably depends on the state.

But, I did mine five years ago and still check it periodically. My info’s not on Spokeo or any of those scummy sites even all these years later, so it’s a good way to spend 20-30 minutes.

Look outside of the US.

Other countries have better laws around digital privacy and AI. Try products from those countries instead.

It’s actually really easy to get your info off these sites, as they have to delete it upon your request. Just take 20 minutes, pull up any random Top 20 Background Check Sites list, locate the specific pages with your info, and go to town with those deletion requests. (There should be a link to a deletion form on the page or a link to submit a request via email, at least that’s how it was when I did this five years ago.)

Agreed. This article sounds like the kind of BS corporate media’s trying to parrot to gaslight us into giving up WFH.

Good. WotC is wretched hive of scum and villainy.

This childless man loves his peace, quiet, and alone time.

But maybe I don’t qualify as I have dogs, friends, and kickass neighbors.

That’s the deadline Donald set for the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill as well.

Leonardo’s mind was a glorious place.

100% the guy I’d have dinner with if I could go back in time.

I hate that all of the worst things Donald is planning are slated for July 4.

I suppose, if you’re looking to make it more convenient, you could cook things in bulk and then freeze portions of it for later consumption.

It’s very simple.

Any time you set something down, keep this thought in the back of your mind: If you can put it down, you can put it away.

I don’t have many happy memories of my father growing up. All he knew his entire life was hard work and he leaned into that, because his dad died when he was eleven. I am grateful to him for a few things he did that made a major impact on my life:

• He and my mom got my eyes fixed when I was four years old, before which I was legally blind.
• He put the first $1000 I ever saw in my hand to pay a college tuition bill so I wouldn’t have to quit.
• He made sure I had everything I needed growing up in terms of material needs.

But there are a wealth of shitty memories too. He was drunk for most of my childhood and adolescence and verbally abusive. There were times he’d show up to my baseball or soccer practices and games and beer cans would be falling out of his truck. (Never had an adult intervene there, though.)

Most annoyingly, he and my mom have “borrowed” my car for a year to work for DoorDash. They’re too old now to get jobs anywhere else and have to survive.

The best thing I can say about him now is that I know he regrets all of it. On the rare occasions I have him over he always has a gift of some sort. It’s usually something small, because they’re very poor. Last time it was a container of oatmeal. It’s his way of saying sorry, because his stoic, 1940’s and 1950’s upbringing produced a man who doesn’t know how to actually say he’s sorry.

High thread-count sheets.

Also, fun fact, but there’s a sabotage field manual on cia.gov.

Sorry to say, but no idea.

We used separate applications for seven years (Jabber for IM and Asana for ticket management), and for me, that’s what I’m stuck with using Teams for, at least until Microsoft drops AI into and it eats itself.

Agreed.

I like it here.

I’m stuck with Teams in my job.

I fucking hate it.

Just like every time the pope takes a ride in the popemobile.
